Steps

  1. 1 Pat and dry fish fillets.
  2. 2 Sprinkle both sides with a pinch or two of salt and pepper. Squirt juice from 1/2 of the lemon and drizzle the coconut milk over top. Turn to ensure everything is coated well.
  3. 3 Let them sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate.
  4. 4 Meanwhile prepare the breading by combining the almond meal, shredded coconut, salt, pepper, ginger and mint in a shallow bowl.
  5. 5 Cover the bottom of a large skillet with oil and bring to medium heat.
  6. 6 Lay fillets carefully in the skillet and cook, flipping fish halfway through cooking, until both sides are golden brown and fish flakes easily with a fork. Three to five minutes per side for thin fillets, longer if they're thicker.
  7. 7 Transfer to a stack of paper towels to drain and cool slightly.
  8. 8 Serve with Tropical Sweets & Reds Mash.
